Andrew Lincoln returned to The Walking Dead franchise for the spinoff series The Ones Who Live, which continued the story of Rick and Michonne.
It was a solid series that fans seemed to enjoy. It was great to see these two characters reunite again for a whole new story, and it was something that Lincoln wasn’t sure he’d actually get to do.
Lincoln also weighed in on the possibility of reprising the role of Rick again at some point in the future, saying: “This, for me, felt that we could comfortably say that that’s done.”
He continued: “That’s a reunion; that’s the perfect iteration of a story that I thought wasn’t gonna happen for a time, and then Danai and Scott both said, ‘We need to reunite, we’ve got to do an epic love story.’
“I went, ‘That’s a great idea – and let’s tell the story of the CRM and do what the grown-ups have been doing’ and maybe some filling in, because I love all of that.“
He went on to say that he’s not counting out a possible return: “I’m a bit of a geek for all of the mythology and what’s going on, what’s been happening. So the short answer is never say never.
“Because if there’s a good enough place to put Rick in, that we haven’t seen before, there are characters out in the universe that I would love to act with again. But it has to be a really, really, really good story.”
So, if the creative team can actually come up with another great story to tell for Rick, we could see Lincoln back in action. But, even if that never happens, the actor had a great run in the zombie franchise.
